Maryland
- passed a law taxing federal banks
, said congress couldn't create banks.
Explanation:
The Court case of McCulloch v. Maryland was a landmark ruling that determined the limits of states' power and what constitutes federal power. The ruling brought into question the powers of the state legislatures and what constitutes federal power.
The state of Maryland had passed a law taxing all federal banks in the state, stating that Congress has no right to construct and create banks in the states wherever they want. Mr. James William McCulloch, on the other hand, refused to pay taxes that the state of Maryland had imposed, stating that Congress has the right to create banks wherever it wants.
There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":
- "They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.
- "I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.
- "In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.
Hello. You forgot to say that this question is related to "The Enemy".
Answer:
Because the shelter at the doctor's house gave the soldier comfort and compassion, which he would not find if he returned to combat.
Explanation:
When the soldier arrived at the doctor's house, he was highly injured, weak, tired and very traumatized by all the horrors he witnessed in the war and by all the abuses he suffered at the hand of the enemy army. However, the doctor's family took care of his injuries, showed him compassion and friendship, gave him comfort and security. The soldier did not want to lose those good feelings that the doctor's house allowed him to feel and he knew that if he left the house, he would have to return to the horrors of the fight and for that reason, he was reluctant to leave the doctor's house, even putting all the family in danger.
